Default Eager beaver

I got a weed whip out of the garbage yesterday to replace my toro snow blower motor on my moutain bike. I need to fix the recoil, it looks impossiable to get the clutch off of the motor to fix the rewind spring? I see no set screws or anything! this is the last thing before I can mount it up and ride finnaly with a clutch! I think its a McCulluch motor seeing it says it to use McCullugh oil for premix. I have no iddea what the displacement is, I know it has a walbro carb on it. Thanks
Mark

I'd keep it right in the trash... Eager beavers used to be the biggest piles of crap there was.. we had 1 and it lasted less than a season.. not to mention, it was only like 15cc.. if your going to use a weedwacker engine, get a good used 1, like a Homelite or even a Poulan weedeater.. even bought new, some are 35-40cc and under $100


Eager Beaver is a McCulluch brand, there cheap brand.
